   KDE:

   Microsoft has blatantly copied us in Windows 11, and as a result, people are starting to see Plasma as a cheap clone of Windows again. (...) Making the panel float by default provides an immediate visual differentiation from Windows 11 and we hope this will help jolt users’ brains out of “ew, it’s slightly different from Windows 11” mode and into “wow, this is new and cool and I wonder what’s in it” mode.

   Microsoft:

   Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows 12 (...) with several new design ideas, including a new desktop experience with a ‘floating’ taskbar. Microsoft wants to create a floating effect for the taskbar by separating it from the desktop and rounding off the edges.

     @tendstofortytwo Kinda funny to me.
     As someone who's been with windows and used Windows 10 a lot, Going to Linux with KDE Plasma was an absolute treat for me and probably the best Desktop Environment I've ever used. I always saw it as the better version of what Window's had to offer. Of course I'm not really interested in the floating bar thing that they're doing as a default, but the ease of changing things in plasma makes it really great to use.
